Gathimba Edwards Foundation (GEF) are building a brighter future and improving the quality of life for children and their families in Kenya and north-east Scotland. Our approach to tackling the challenges which hold back the communities we serve is centred around the 3 pillars of Education, Shelter and Wellbeing.

The nature of support under each pillar varies in each country according to need. Whether it's public school fees, specialist equipment, a new house or a ramp to help you access the door you already have, but feel is closed to you - along with food or farming assistance, or therapies - we strive to deliver maximum impact across the entire GEF community.

But there is still more that needs to be done:
- 47% OF CHILDREN IN KENYA DO NOT ENROL IN SECONDARY SCHOOL
- 20% OF SCOTTISH FAMILIES CARING FOR A DISABLED CHILD LIVE IN POVERTY
- 1 in 2 CHILDREN IN KENYA WERE SLEEPING ON THE FLOOR PRIOR TO RECEIVING GEF SUPPORT
- 50 HOURS: TIME SPENT PER WEEK BY CAREGIVERS OF DISABLED CHILDREN ON CARE-RELATED TASKS
- 1 MILLION GIRLS IN KENYA MISS AN AVERAGE OF 4 SCHOOL DAYS EVERY MONTH BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO ACCESS TO SANITARY PADS
